Product description

Boggis, Bunce and Bean are the meanest, foulest farmers in the world! So when they declare war on Mr Fox, who has been stealing their chickens and cider to feed the starving animals on the hill, they mean business! They are determined to get Mr Fox. They lie in wait outside his hole, crouching behind trees with loaded guns; ready to shoot, starve or dig Mr Fox out. But Mr Fox is a crafty, noble fox with lots of little foxlets to feed, and he isn’t going to give up that easily. With the help of his friends, Rabbit and Badger, he thinks up an ingenious plan to evade their shotguns and shovels… One of Roald Dahl’s most charismatic characters comes to flamboyant life in this best-loved novel – a true childhood essential.

Author/Illustrator

Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff, South Wales on September 13th 1916. His parents were Norwegian, and were called Harald and Sofie. He went to Repton school, in Derbyshire, and left school in 1933.

His first job was in Africa, with the Shell Oil Company.
In the second world war he fought as a fighter pilot, and was badly injured when his plane crashed. After the war he worked in America, and soon started writing stories.

His very first children’s book, written in 1943 was called The Gremlins. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of the President of the USA liked it so much he was invited to the White House and became friends with the President, Franklin D Roosevelt.

He wrote a number of books and short stories for adults, many of which were televised as the hugely popular Tales of the Unexpected.

But it was as a children’s author that he found greatest fame and satisfaction, saying “I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers…Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful.” Millions of fans around the world agreed and have chuckled and gasped at his amazing stories. His mesmerising stories, written in sizzling, sparkly language, will lead you into adventures you’ll never ever forget!

From 1945 until his death, he lived at Gipsy House, in Buckinghamshire, where he wrote his famous children’s books.
He died in hospital in Oxford, on November 23rd, 1990. His books have continued to be read and loved, and have been made into a number of hit films, including Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You can even visit the Roald Dahl Museum in the village where Dahl lived for most of his life.

The book is really funny about a sly Mr Fox who outwits Boggis, Bunce and Bean the stupid farm owners who will do anything to see him dead.
I think the book is better than the movie.

I read this book just before the movie came out so I could spoil the movie fr myself sad right any ways I didn’t like the book much I thought the mr fox should like his son better than the cousion .

thesoupdragon44on 4 March 2013

My son is only just getting into reading Roald Dahl but this one is a good story and nice and easy to read. The pictures add to the interest at this age and we love the different farmer charicters

la1397on 4 March 2012

Fantastic mr fox was such a sweet book, that i so enjoyed reading, as did my brother. I loved that it wasn’t about people, and instead about animals, because it was varying from other books I’d read at that time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as i think any young child would.

Didn’t like this book at all. But the thing is i looked at the film and then read the book and i have never done that before. So that could be the reason why i didn’t like it.

Roald Dahl is an amazing author, but this really is not my favourite book.I found it hard to imagine the characters, and the plot wasn’t realistic. Overall? Not impressed.

Fantastic Mr Fox is a good book. It was interesting and funny and I liked all the little animals. It was a story of trust, and Roald Dahl excelled as always.

class3Won 24 February 2012

One of my favourite Roal Dahl storys is Fantastic Mr.Fox because the farmors do the most unusal things I have ever seen like Bean never haveing a bath or the three farmors staying infront of the fox hole and they are not as smart as the fox famaly no not one bit!

jacquelinewilsonsno1fanon 3 July 2011

when i read the book it was like i was there and was watching it all happen. The book is very descriptive and funny. The way that Roald Dahl described the three villians was so incredible that you could imagine them very clearly. Fantastic Mr Fox was incredible and is suitable for all ages and i recommend this book for all readers.
